Taapsee Pannu is a forerunner supporter of the LGBTQ  community and has often spoken for their equal rights. While applauding the judgment of Section 377 she said,  “I am a proud feminist but that does not mean demanding more rights; it means equality and nothing else and same goes for the LGBTQIA+ rights. India gained freedom in 1947 but LGBTQIA+ community got freedom in 2018. Too late, but finally we as a country can take pride in that. And fight for equality.”
